Pro Pete , sorry but I dont know when you got your agreement/contract.
Mine says under the title Response on pg 9 " This contract of employment" bla bla
The training bond is mentioned on pg 7 . This is on the same contract
although another agreement was also draughted to explain more details of the training bomd.
So all I see is the word contract on the document that I signed and they have reneged on a few paragraphs in the said contract . Fact.
Its possible they changed this to use the word agreement on later documents ( new hires) but not on mine. Even if this is the case it just validates my origonal point. That you join here with absouloutely nothing to go by. What is on offer is all heresay. They may as well promise you a command in 6 months , basings anywhere in the world and a rolls royce to transport you to work. Any agreement /contract/ piece of paper is worth squat. Any verbal statement by the recruitment team is equally as worthless.
